Hi. Any medicine containing salicylic acid should only be taken after getting a prescription for it by a certified dermatologist. Avoid using the lotion for now and just use a ketoconazole shampoo for the time being 2-3 times every week. If there is still purging after couple weeks then get yourself checked by a dermatologist or seek an online consultation with us.
